About this map

Burton and the surrounding township are defined by a complex network of glacial lakes and river headwaters. The East Branch Cuyahoga River and the W Br Cuyahoga River converge in this landscape of wetlands and water bodies, including Lake Kelso, Fern Lake, and the expansive Akron City Reservoir. The village of Burton sits at a crossroads of local history, marked by institutional presence like the Kent State University Geauga Campus and numerous burial grounds including Welton Cem and Lower Cem.

Rural settlements such as South Newbury, Welshfield, and Auburn Corners anchor the map, connected by historic thoroughfares like Ravenna Rd. The map also documents specific community markers, from Bucks Airport to the Amish Cem and Patch Cem, illustrating a landscape where agricultural traditions and modern educational institutions coexist. The terrain rises to Welsh Hill in the south, overlooking the drainage basin of the Cuyahoga River.
